Dachshunds | 3 Doxies

I found an interesting shop on Etsy (Annie’s Sweatshop) where you can get custom clothing and handmade items for your Daschund. I especially like her Hound Hoodie Sweatshirts.

We’re going on vacation and we’re planning to leave our Dachshunds home alone for about a week. Do you think they can hold it that long?
Actually, our Son is staying home alone with them so they should be fine… If he remembers to feed and water them and let them out to poddy…
I’m sure [...]

For the second time within a month, one of our Dachshunds had an infected anal glad. This time, Chloe’s abscessed and nearly ruptured.
Unlike Odie, it was a complete surprise since she was acting normal until late Sunday night where she started hiding behind the downstairs toilet.

“Is your dog’s name Oscar?”
I didn’t understand the question since I was expected them to ask for [...]
